I ordered 2 very special monogramed gifts in November 2024, both were GUARANTEED DELIVERY before Christmas, but here I am Christmas eve without the tennis bracelet for my mother that was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's or the mother's necklace for my daughter that has been the biggest help to me during this difficult time in my life. I will be returning everything when it finally comes in, thanks for ruining this day for my mother....

Still have not gotten a email back.. No customer support at all. I ordered the necklaces on 12-11-24. Website promised Christmas delivery. Still no email or necklaces but they didn't miss taking the money from my bank account tho .. They're crooks.

I qualified for free shipping and was charged anyway. Went to website and did everything it directed me to do with no success. Called customer service and was put on hold and hung up twice on me, finally got ahold of someone who was completely useless. Ended up paying shipping anyway because their customer service email is also bogus. I recommend finding the retailer and cut out Bradford.

I order a Christmas Gift for my spouse on November 17th. I was told December 5th that it was being shipped out soon by UPS and I would get it before Christmas. It is now December 21st and I do not have it. On top of that I just received my credit card bill and they charged me 2 times once on November 19th and and on December 9th. If you call and click the number to discuss your order you will be on hold for hours. They give you an option for them to call you back and you will not loose your place in line. They never call back. So I called and picked the number to place an order they picked up right away. So disappointed and disgusted in the level of service and that they had the nerve to double charge me.

Took my order on Dec 2, and I finally call on Dec 20th to find out shipping status. Although all along my order showed "delivery by Dec 24th", the item not only wasn't going to be here, but was out of stock!! When I called customer service at 1-866-503-9057 they "offered" me a different but similar item (zip up jacket opposed to the hoodie I ordered) and wanted $39 usd to get the unwanted item by the original deadline. No dice on my suggestion of them covering the shipping due to their foul-up. I canceled the order and will not be ordering from them ever again. Steer clear or be sorry.

Absolutely garbage company. Ordered a ring for my wife at the beginning of December. Ordered express shipping to make sure it was here for Xmas. It says it will be here by December 24. Problem is that it’s the 19th and it hasn’t moved from order received. Contacted them twice now via email and I get the same canned response. “We are currently personalizing your product. It will be delivered by the 24th”. Only thing different both times is the name attached. ABSOLUTELY no communication from the company. Filed a fraud claim with my bank. Next step is BBB. This company is a joke. Stay far far away. Also you will noticed they don’t bother responding to any reviews or offer any assistance

I ordered a bracelet after the Canada Post strike and I was guaranteed delivery for Christmas. This bracelet was shipped to me apparently on December 9 or that’s what it shows. I called a few times to follow up and was told because it was guaranteed for Christmas it was in FedEx. I called again today and was told that yes it was processed and it will be shipped Canada post when the strike is over. That is not good enough. I have been nothing but lied to and given the runaround from day one. I’ve been told different things by different customer service agents, and they really need to get their act together. I am filing a complaint with a Better Business Bureau and would like others who have been through the same thing to contact me as I will go for a false advertising suit, and I thought they were classy company never again!

I ordered the Thomas Kinkade rotating tree last Christmas to replace our usual tree. I set it up and it wouldn’t rotate. I took it out of the stand and put it in again checked the connections, etc. Nothing. I contacted Customer Service for advice thinking they could give me some troubleshooting advice to get it rotating. All they could tell me was to send it back. Since it was too close to Christmas and I wouldn’t have a tree if I sent it back, I kept it because it still looks pretty when it’s not rotating. So, this year I got it out, set it up, turned it on and it rotated! I couldn’t believe what I missed the year before. There were beautiful changing colors as it turned. It was really impressive. Notice I said WERE. I turned it on the second day and once again NO ROTATION. What a piece of $159 junk. In two years it has rotated for exactly ONE day.

The first picture is what I ordered and the 2nd one is what I got. You can tell the difference. I ordered the Buffalo Bills Wreath. I received the box and wrapped it, without opening it, because it was a gift. The bow ties and the ribbons are different. The size of the helmet and Buffalo Bills next to the bow tie are different sizes. The gloves are a darker color. Even the Bills hat on top of the head is different. The head is higher so everything looks fuller in the advertisement but what I received is like a miniature version. Definitely not as full as the original picture. Not what I ordered but somewhat similar. Very disappointed in how it turned out. Even the football is a different color.
I've always been happy with Bradford Exchange products in the past and this is the first time I am disappointed in their products. I had the gift opened early because it was a combined birthday and Christmas gift, and he was starting to decorate for Christmas. I emailed a complaint to them directly because that's where I was told to email. The reply I received said "Sometimes the items will arrive looking a bit different than the original advertisement. You can certainly return this back for a replacement or refund. Please let me know if you wish for us to send you a prepaid return label." Obviously it was a gift. I wasn't going to tell the person I gave the gift to I want it back because I wasn't happy with it. I just won't be ordering from this company anymore. Their quality in items have definitely gone down.

Horrible scam company. You will get your products but you will grossly overpay for them. I bought a morgan silver dollar. Supposedly it was BU and I paid 200 dollars for it. It wasn't graded by they were just claiming it was. Before I knew better well once I got it and realized they were a scam company I decided to send the coin off for grading at NGC. It was graded a AU-58. It is only worth about 70 bucks and that's graded and that cost me 60 bucks to get it graded. I'm glad I learned earlier on and only wasted 200 on them. I have heard stories of people spending a lot more. Like I said yea you will get your products but it will be massively overpriced and the quality will be lied about. Stay away from them. Buy from APMEX or JM bullion.

Bradford Exchange also is Ashton Drake can not do anything right. It's either they are incompetent or being deceitful. I placed an order for the Rudolph reindeer series where it states on the website Yukon is the first character you get. I did not get Yukon but Rudolph and Hermy, which is fine. I sent an email to make sure I got Yukon. But what they did was change my order, to what I have no idea. I paid the first payment on the original order, 30.44. The order was 99.95. So now I owe 121.75. on top of my first payment of 30.44 dollars, like I never paid. In the email showing the change it clearly shows the cost it 99.95 for the new order but when the invoice arrived it saying I owe 121.75. They did not subtract my first payment. So that was a total lie in the email.
Customer service said "we changed your order because you complained about the cost", which is another lie. I complained I didn't get what was described on the website, Yukon first. Ok so great, what if I did complain about the cost, you not only have zero record I made a payment, but now it went from 99.95 to owing another 121.75 plus 30.44 total 152.19. Thanks that really helped if I complained about cost.

Very disappointed in the whole experience with this company. Ordered a Disney tree for my daughter for Christmas in October. It took about 6 weeks for it to be ready to be shipped, only to find out they ship Canada Post and since we all know they are on strike, nothing is moving. Contacted them to see if I can change to Canpar delivery and they said NO. So now it will sit in the warehouse until Canada Post goes back to work and who knows how long that will be. Also they do not give you an expected time of delivery until you order it. Very poor experience with this and definitely will be my last.

I ordered 3 of the Personalized Zippo® Lighter With Your Birth-Year Penny as Christmas presents. The 3 zippos arrived promptly but they were supposed to have the personalization of my choice -up to to 3 letters and one was missing initials with only 2 rather than the 3 requested. I could have let that go, but the lighters are also advertised as having a birth penny of choice as well. One of the 3 lighters didn't have a penny AT ALL and the other 2 came with the INCORRECT birth year PENNY attached.
I promptly reached out to customer service to see if they can figure out what happened as I am giving 3 family members these as presents. Customer service was kind and apologetic voicing would replace all 3 free of charge and make the necessary corrections to all 3 lighters. I couldn't believe all three were incorrect. I've been shopping Bradford Exchange for years and never experienced this. I never received the 3 lighters as I was told, still waiting. I paid $79.99 each which is pricey but for personalization of this type and it being Christmas, I felt it was a nice gift for the 3 folks who collect zippos in the family. Very disappointed and was not offered a refund, only to replace. Still waiting for those 3 replacements.

Fraud!! Ordered one thing for a birthday gift. Next thing my card is being charged for something I did not order and some program I did not sign. Only way to get ahold of people is email and that takes days. Then I was told my info was removed. Couple days later I get something in the mail. Go through the hassle of email and wait. Finally got return label. Week passes I got someone who answered the phone. She said she refunded me for program and she cancelled program. Puts me through to returns which after 25 minutes on hold I hung up. Email again to them. Day or two later got email. Worse part is they were referring to program that I was told twice now was already cancelled, which still have not received refund on it after 5 days of it "processed". Couple days later and couple more emails I have not received anything about the return item. This place is one of biggest scams there is. Stay away.

I purchased a small batch of personal checks (about $40) online and received them as promised. Much to my surprise, a month later I noticed a second charge from them on my credit card statement; $16.95 for a "rewards program membership". When I called them to inquire I was told that I agreed to purchase this when I bought the checks. I denied having done so, and was told that this was detailed in the "terms and conditions". I went back to their website to investigate and found that these "terms and conditions" were not presented anywhere. This was clearly a fraudulent and deceptive act on their part.

I started a collection in December of 2020 as a gift for my daughter-in-law. It was the Silent Night Nativity that looks like Polish Pottery. I was told that I would receive everything to complete the authentic Nativity scene. As of today, I still have not received any of the camels, sheep or other animals. I also have not received the last shepherd. They keep telling me the items needed to complete this collection are unavailable and will not be available. This is unacceptable since this collection that I have spent close to $700 will always be incomplete. Bradford Exchange subscription business needs to be shut down. I am not a rich woman.

My husband ordered a Thomas Kindcade statue for my birthday in August. It came in, was a beautiful statue. The other day another box arrived. (Mind you it is now September). Well turns out that the statue he bought is part of a subscription group, doesn’t say it at the top where add to cart is. Says wayyyyyyy at the bottom and doesn’t really say it clearly. So he called to cancel it and return the statue they charged him $99 for. Well they canceled the subscription but gave him a hard time about returning it. So he gave in, kept it, as we opened it, there is a crack along the back part and a chip in the front. So not only do they rip you off with expensive shipping, subscriptions that you don’t even know you’re getting, give you a hard time about returning things, they send broken things.

Ordered blank personal checks through this company. They make it appear that you are saving a bundle, but the "regular" price is way inflated, nowhere near the competition. In reality the SPECIAL price you pay is pretty much what everone ele is charging. Company also is not clear about how many checks are in a box. Industry standard is 100, but some companies have gone to 80 per box. Finally, you are asked to enter ALL the numbers across the bottom of present checks, and then asked again to enter each set of numbers individually. Huge waste of time. Positive note: The company does have a lot of designs.

My experience; there are numerous phone numbers listed to call this company. Each one leads to a busy message with an option to stay in the queue and have the company call you back. The callback doesn't come for HOURS, and came from yet another number entirely. The woman I spoke with was VERY slow, would not communicate well (spoke English well but took forever to respond to any question I had), and then ended the call without notifying me that the phone call had terminated. My opinion... stay away from The Bradford Exchange! This company seems more of a scam than legitimate.

I had previously ordered my personal checks through the Bradford Exchange several years ago. I needed to order new checks with my new address so I went back to them since they had my data stored. To ensure safety, I paid an extra fee for processing and delivery. Since I had a new address, I also decided to order return address labels at the same time. Well, the checks arrived (although not within the timeframe advised based on the extra fee I paid) but not the return address labels. After 15 business days had passed, I sent an email to their customer service department. They advised that they would request a replacement set to be processed and mailed.
Well the next 15 business days passed and I still do not have the labels. Another email to their customer service to request a refund this time. So my advice, DO NOT order anything from this company as they do not stand behind their orders and in my case never really bothered to process them to begin with. I won't make this mistake again.

DO NOT sign up for a subscription service. In May 2023, I signed up for the Harry Potter Hogwarts House Flameless Candles. They were to be released once per month starting in June 2023. Signing up for the subscription guaranteed I would not miss one. The description directly on the site states "These flameless candles pay homage to each of the 4 HOGWARTS Houses, and the iconic HOGWARTS CREST™, with high-relief sculpted House mascots, the House name banner and a matching base with the metallic-finished House color". So 5 candles, correct? NOT SO FAST! I was billed accordingly for 5 months and received all the candles that were listed. The quality is definitely substandard, but I'm a huge HP fan so I didn't return them. I had received my 5 candles and went on with life.
Several months after I received the last one, I was billed again out of the blue. When I called to inquire as to why I was being charged, the customer service rep informed me that I signed up for the subscription. I told her I understood that, but I had received the entire set already, so there should have been no need to cancel. She informed me that although at the time of my order the set only contained the 5 listed candles, they had recently added 3 more candles (Fluffy, Hedwig, and Horntail) to the subscription. Now I'm no genius, but I do know that those 3 are NOT Hogwarts Houses.
She also informed me that subscriptions just don't simply end once you receive your items. They continually add items to subscriptions. For this set, they would be adding items for the next several years until the set was completed with 30 candles. She stated that a subscription meant that I would be charged for any item they added to the collection, at any time, without notification because I signed up for it.
I tried to explain to her that NOWHERE in the description did it say the set was for 30 candles. It clearly states the subscription is for the Harry Potter Hogwarts House Flameless Candles and NOT for any other character they decided to add to the collection and IF they were going to be adding other items to the collection, then they should update the description to Harry Potter Flameless Candle Collection. She told me she could cancel the subscription but not refund me for the newest item I was charged for until I returned it. Buyer beware when you use this company's subscription service.

They told me, "I don't know why that has not happened, so we will send you a check and it will take 10 business days to get to you." 15 business days later I noticed that 6 months was refunded to my credit card. I have to take responsibility for not seeing the on-going charge on my credit card for 10 months, and learned a lesson that Big Business will make it easy for you to "sign up" for something without giving you proper notice of just what you are doing.

I ordered a light-up Dragon Sculpture Plasma Ball as a Christmas gift for my nephew. At the time of ordering, the offer showed several different dragons (I believe it was 3 or 4) to choose your first of the series from. Of these, I chose the most dynamic one that my nephew would like the most (several being drably painted, and not in as visually exciting a pose). When completing my order, it gave me the option to purchase this sculpture individually, instead of the subscription plan, which I did, confirmed by the "solo" description in shipping information on my account on their website.
I received the package from the Bradford Exchange, a week later, no distress or damage to the package, and put it on a shelf in my closet until I opened it tonight, Christmas eve to put batteries in before wrapping, to find both wings are broken off. This was very evidently caused by being shoved into soft foam packaging shell that did not have space enough to accommodate the unfurled dragon wings. This I discovered after supergluing the wings back on and trying to put the sculpture back into the packing for wrapping (so I would have a Christmas present for my nephew in the morning). The sculpture wings would not fit into the opening, and one came off again, had to be reglued, with the softfoam packaging needing to be carved out to have space for the wings to fit, in order to rewrap it in its original box.
Upon going to the website to register a complaint, I discovered that they had included me in the subscription plan even though I chose the specific Dragon as a solo purchase, opting out of the subscription, and another dragon is now on the way, with my card being charged. Checking their site, I see that the original advertisement for the dragon plasma ball has now been altered to only allow to order as a subscription, also now only showing the dragon ball which I ordered, none of the rest of the series being visually represented anywhere.
So now I am being sent a dragon sculpture that I did not order, I had to check other sites selling the "flame guardian" to see the next one they sent me, and recall why I didnt choose it as my solo purchase out of the set in the first place. I am now forced to cancel a subscription that I never ordered, to prevent being shipped a new dragon sculpture monthly, or as new ones are produced, indefinitely until cancelled, and most likely to have pay shipping to return the sculpture now on its way to me, to receive a refund.

I ordered a ring which my fiance wanted. The first time I ordered it, I selected "pay in full" as my payment option. Bradford exchange charged me, debited my account and indicated "Your item is shipping, today!" Three days later, I received notice that "There was a problem with your payment and your order has been cancelled." However, the payment had already been cleared and - more than three weeks later, I could not get either a refund or the item shipped. Eventually, I was refunded, more than a month later. Like an idiot, I thought, "My fiance really wants this ring, I'll consider the bad experience a mistake and try again with a completely fresh order."
I reordered the ring. I received another confirmation of order, more shipping information (including tracking info which showed a package leaving Ohio with my address as final destination) and, within three days, the package had made it all the way to Morrow, Georgia which is just about three hours away from me. Now, more than a month later, that package is *still*sitting in Morrow, Georgia. The Bradford Exchange knows nothing other than "We shipped the package as promised!" and "UPS Mail Innovations Expedited" (the "shipping company") apparently doesn't exist.
I've found literally THOUSANDS of people online who claim "Once your package reaches Morrow, Georgia, you will never see or hear about it, again!" This simply MUST be a scam. I know of no other legitimate business who could possibly be so careless and/or irresponsible as to lose the same order twice and to not care at all on both occasions. With me, there will be no "third strike'. I'll NEVER order from these people again and I'll NEVER trust them again. I'm seriously considering registering the domain name "bradfordexchangeonlinescam.com" and opening it up to the public for comments...

This company uses the most deceptive and downright dirty tactics. I bought a collectible from them for my stepdad for Christmas. First off, the shipment was two weeks after they told me it would be delivered. Sucks for Christmas, but I understand. No biggie. Two months later, ANOTHER gift was sent to my stepdad that I didn't order and $64 was gone from my account. When I contacted them about the purchase, they told me that the initial gift was part of a series, and because I ordered part of a series, I was automatically signed up to order the rest of the items in a series. I was given no indication, notification, or option to opt-out. Just, "Hey, thanks for the order. Get ready for the rest of them because it's a series. Oh, you don't want the rest of the series? Tough luck."
After spending a few hours going round and round with different managers, I was able to get a PARTIAL refund. Not a full refund, a PARTIAL refund. So after that, I went ahead and canceled my account. TURNS OUT that because I placed ONE order with them, they kindly signed me up for their rewards program, which is typically not a big deal BECAUSE MOST COMPANIES DON'T CHARGE FOR THEIR REWARDS PROGRAM.
Not only did I not agree to sign up for their rewards program, not only did I receive NO notification that I was enrolled in their rewards program, but they started charging me $15 a month for being a part of their rewards program. I didn't catch this until it had gone on for a few months because of the way the name of the charge came through in my bank statement. As soon, as I called to have them reverse the charges, they did so immediately. No fight. No runaround. That tells me that they probably have A LOT of people who are being charged for this "program" and don't even know it. Just despicable. The people who run that company are the worst of what humanity has to offer and should be ashamed of themselves.

Updated on 04/08/2023: I’ve gotten some feedback from The Bradford Exchange Customer Service department. After extensive research, I’ve found all the documents supporting my refund demands. That is as of today. An e-mail sent by a nameless customer service representative stating that Bradford Exchange didn’t withdraw the full amount of $139.00 I authorized them to deduct from my bank. Oh no, according to them, they converted my authorized payment into monthly installments of $46.99 without my consent or approval. How dare Bradford Exchange divert my funds without notifying me for approval. They did reimburse me the one-time withdrawal fee. However when you read on the invoice sent to me, yes I’m paraphrasing “… No further action required at this time…” Ya’d think (well I did) all's done.
Ah that’s my error! I’m looking at an invoice stating in bold black ink $139.00 USD paid! Can you appreciate or at least understand my confusion? This should’ve been my decision, not The Bradford Exchange's, they do not have that right! I’m questioning their business ethics, is this legal? I’m seeking legal advice, is this a possible class action situation? I’ve read and re-read their document trying to find somewhere I electronically agreed to this payment modification without my approval or consent. I don’t like to think Ill of people, places, and things but I highly suspect devious unscrupulous motives might be at play?
Original Review: I received the first ungraded coin. Seeing this at triple the cost infuriated me. I returned their package, I’m still waiting for my $139.00 refund to be returned. Bradford ignores my pleas, e-mails and text messages. Their website ad is very misleading. Be sure to read and study the conditions of said agreement before you commit to the sale. What triggered my cancellation, besides the over priced coin was every month a new coin will be sent at the exuberant fee of $114.00 USD! They’ve sat on my cash generating revenue thru accumulated interest in their massive bank account.
Had this been the collection advertised rather than the cheap shot a price gouging us seniors I would’ve bought one collection for all nine (9) of my grandchildren. Shame on you Bradford Exchange. I’ve shared my story with others who’ve had nothing other than utter disdain towards this company, be it their train, the Disney, collectible plates, and several other over priced, undersized (figures, train car, etc sizes) collections.

I ordered a Twas the Night Before Christmas house using my credit card. The site said I could split the payments into $40 installments. I chose that option during checkout only to find out they had charged my card for the full amount instead. I checked to see when it would ship and the site said mid-April. I sent an email to cancel the order to which I received a cookie-cutter response that my item had already shipped. I knew this was another lie. I checked the site and they had updated it to say it was In progress for shipping. It has said that for days on end.
I do not have a tracking number or anything to prove it’s been shipped. I feel like they just put that in the system after they told me they could not cancel it due to it having already shipped. It has NOT shipped. Very very shady Business Practices. If I had found these reviews before I placed said order I never would have ordered. I DID NOT authorize them to take out the full amount at once. As it stands I don’t want this item and would like a full refund. They have lost any future business from me if they don’t remedy this to my liking. Do not offer payment plan and then charge the full amount at once. Unfair and shady at best.

Dec. 1 ordered pendant for my Mom.

By the 20th, still no sign of my mom’s gift and I sent another email asking if it would indeed arrive on time or whether I should go shopping for an alternative gift.
On FRIDAY the 23rd, I finally received an email from Wilver saying he was “happy to inform me that my collectible has been reserved for me”…And that they anticipated the order would arrive no later than 02/02/23. As, by then we were under a severe storm watch, I was not able to run out on CHRISTMAS EVE to try to find something else, after being repeatedly reassured by this company that my Mom’s gift WOULD indeed arrive on time…It didn’t. I am fully aware of issues in every sector of business dealing with manufacturing delays, etc., All I would have liked was an HONEST answer from this company that my product would not be arriving on time. I guess that was too much to ask.

I moved from CA in Jan 2019 to AZ. Since I livd in CA my entire life, I knew it was important to update my address to every company I associate (including The Bradford Exchange) with. So here's the story: I recently ordered a wall clock from The Bradford Exchange. This is the 3rd order I've made since I have moved to AZ. This particular order had the billing address correct, but they had my old CA address for shipping. I immediately called them to explain the error, and they told me that they could not change the shipping address, nor cancel the shipment. They said that once an order is made, it is immediately sent to their shipping department, and once there, no changes or cancellations can be made. Appalling - right?
I explained to them that they have previously used my correct shipping address 2 orders before this one. They just apologized. Then I was told that they would stop the payment request (I paid through paypal) and I should call back in 48 hours to re-order as shipment never arrived. I did just as they requested. Well, they never did put a stop payment request to paypal (verified with paypal) and that my order that was in shipping, and could not be changed, had not even left their building yet! But they still would not change the shipping address. So they instructed me to see what address I had on file with Paypal, as The Bradford Exchange ships to the address from my paypal account. So I checked on-line, and phone with paypal, and they have the correct address info.
Once again, I called back The Bradford Exchange. Get this.... they told me to deny the shipment once it gets to CA, and/or return it to them, and they will re-issue! Well how can I deny delivery, or return the item to them when I don't even live in the same state?!? All they kept saying was that they are sorry for what has transpired with this order. Nothing else!
My next step was to call paypal and see if they could stop the payment. Of course, that was something they couldn't do either. I am now working with my bank disputing this payment. The bank is working with me to help get my money back. In the meantime, I got an email from paypal asking me if they should authorize "another" payment to The Bradford Exchange, as they have billed them twice for the same amount (with two different dates)! You can only imagine my mindset after that email. Of course I told them not to pay them again, but I am so shocked and appalled at The Bradford Exchange I don't even have the words to express my feelings. So I am now at the mercy of my bank in the hopes that I will get my $124 dollars back.

It is illegal in Canada to mislead consumers in this way. It's called bait and switch. They are basically showing you a product you will not receive. They only show renderings of their products.

Updated on 03/01/2023: We received globe 1 in January 2022 and globes 2 and 3 in February 2022. This month, February 2023, marks one year that my grandson has been waiting for globe 4. The company continues to side-step my questions (and complaints) by claiming supplier issues. Curiously, the company continues selling same/similar products, such as the snowglobe village, while allowing projected delivery dates to merely roll by without an update (and, seemingly, any concern) regarding the completion of my grandson's collection. Even worse, The Bradford Exchange will not allow the customer to speak with a supervisor when the customer calls in. I have found the feat of contacting executive-level employees (at The Bradford Exchange) a near-impossible task.
Today, I see that all order, payment, and delivery information is gone from my online account summary. I cannot say whether the information disappeared because no delivery activity has occurred in the last year or if the company is now targeting me for voicing complaint. I am a college educator devoted to holding this company responsible for the deceptive advertising of receiving a piece of the collection "every month or so." Unfortunately, for me, holding the company responsible will require a large amount of time, filing forms regarding deceptive advertising, as well as possibly having to hire an attorney. A Facebook page is dedicated to the many complaints against this company. I urge potential and existing customers to (1) review the Facebook page about complaints regarding Bradford Exchange, and (2) refrain from doing business of any kind with The Bradford Exchange.
Original Review: For Christmas 2021, I purchased (on the subscription plan) the Rudolph "Holiday Express" Snowglobe Train Collection. My grandson has received 4 of the 5 globes, but he is still waiting on globe 5 and the train rails. Today is October 14, which means that the "every month or so" is misleading since 10 months or better ought to be enough time to send out 6 pieces. Of course, The Bradford Exchange will tell you that some pieces are "not in production, yet" OR are "back-ordered."
The Bradford Exchange needs to explain, upfront, to customers just how long customers will have to wait to get the entire collection. Unfortunately, the company places blame on "manufacturer." Warning: Order only if you are willing to patiently wait for a year (or close to a year) for all parts. Question: Where is our last train globe and our train rails?

I would rate NEGATIVE 5 but didn't have option as minimum is 1 to be able to write a review... My Mom is 98 since April 2022. Earlier this year as I was going through her accounts, I found cashed checks totaling over $600 to Bradford Exchange. (Coins they would send and bill later for). She tried to stop them by returning a coin and writing to not send anymore unless she specifically asked for more. (Caregiver assisted her as Mom was embarrassed to advise us what was going on.) A collection letter showed up to pay around $81 or collection proceedings would commence?
When I called Bradford's listed number I was prompted to dial 2030 for which I would be charged a$5.00 fee? After a phone number search, and a few attempts, leaving call back numbers, and waiting on hold multiple times for up to 1 hour, a man finally answered. After I explained the situation, the man confirmed they did receive previous payments, BUT never got the last 2 coins back and so money was due. I explained how coins were actually returned and theoretically, I could have just claimed we never received the coins he was claiming he sent. I told them they already got over $600 from my mom and asked them to credit the account and close the collection agent file.
He arrogantly refused... I told him I would then take the option of returning ALL the coins and asking for the full refund as their advertisements claim you have 365 days to return everything for full refund. He placed me on hold and I thought that would work but he came back to me and said... OK. Return everything and he would send us a refund once they got everything back? I cant trust them and didn't want to pursue this further with them as they would just claim the same thing that they never got anything back... They weren't going to do anymore except continue to demand payment.
I called collection agent (Kingston Data And Credit) who were also of no assistance. You had to leave messages for them to call back and when they did, they said I couldn't talk on my mom's behalf, SO, I went back to her apartment where now, no one answered... They called me to say they called her for permission, but she claimed she didn't know what it was about and couldn't reply without me (98 years old and now afraid of phone scammers so doesn't entertain their questions).
I went back to her condo and called again and got someone, who checked with Mom that it was OK to talk for her. THEN, they said... SORRY... They couldn't cancel anything as I would have to get it cleared up with Bradford Exchange. I said, well, to never expect a payment as Bradford made the error. Fast forward about 3 months later, and we received a threatening letter stating we had 7 days to pay or we'd be reported, we'd have a bad credit rating listing which could take up to 7 years to clear up once settled.
Mom is 98 years old and with over 50 years with credit cards, her own business, etc. And never a bad credit issue, near end of her life, this was unacceptable... SO, since I was away, I instructed my sis to just pay it. Now, I called back and got a supervisor at Bradford Exchange who seems to be more compassionate then previous people I dealt with. She agreed to cancel final bill we just paid, but she claims they never got the payment for. Once I send proof, she says she will refund the amount? Proof being sent tomorrow. The amount of time we expensed in resolving this issue is worth hundreds of dollars if not more, but finally, it may be over soon. I wouldn't deal with this type of company ever again and hope my story is fair warning for all others..

They recently sent out a coin addressed to my wife, with a letter to myself, without asking if we wanted it. The letter which was dated 21st July 2022 states that no charge was due and that "payment only due if you retain & add it to your collection" so appears they have provided it free for 14 days and then intend to charge me for something I have not requested however they actually charged me £43.94 on the 18th of July before the letter had even been sent. Additionally it would appear if I want to return this item I'm going to have to pay to get it sent recorded delivery.
I spent over 25 mins holding on the phone on Wednesday 3rd July to try and speak with a member of their team to discuss this issue and was unable to speak with anyone and I will have to waste further time returning the coin. They state on their website "We will aim to resolve your complaint as soon as possible; however, where an immediate resolution cannot be reached, we will aim to resolve your complaint, within a period of two working days." I sent an email three days ago Wednesday 3rd and have had no response. I feel this is an unacceptable approach to sales and customer service.
I would advise potential buyers to be very wary of this company. I will be contacting the ombudsman and taking this complaint further as it appears this company may be charging people without consent (stealing).

A representative reached out to me shortly after I had posted and through communications, my issue was immediately resolved. It is so nice to find a company that cares about its customers and does what it can to make them happy.

This was a birthday gift paid for me in full by my sister. I continue to get overdue statements. Even after sending emails and sending information on the statement. And a daily offer to buy more items. Never again!

Wow never told us was a subscription get charged 60 every week or so get a piece of plastic with paint once a month and come to find out it is a 20 piece set so they can keep charging me 60 dollars. Whenever you want you need to make things clear on your website. No one is willing to pay almost 1500 or more for some plastic pieces.

Several times a week, I receive an invoice from the Bradford Exchange in the mail. I have NEVER ordered anything from you. Why are you mailing invoices to me for items I didn’t order and never would have ordered? I’d estimate that I have received at least 20 of these notices from you in the past two months. Sometimes, two arrive the same day for different items. I understand that some of my neighbors have the same problem. If this is a scam, it is a really stupid one. For example, here’s one I’ve received more than once for a “patriotic faith dog tag.” I am not patriotic, have no faith, and no dog. Are you connected to Trump? Please explain and STOP! You are wasting trees. Laura ** Pasadena CA 91107

Want to say over the years I have purchased many things from The Bradford Exchange and was very satisfied, recently purchased an illuminated Kinkade picture and it comes with no power cord - really, I mean the cheapest item I ever purchased came with a power cord. Then I find a power cord and plug it in, to find out you have to remove the batteries to use cord - really - I mean what the heck is wrong with this picture. It burns out and won't work at all now, they honor the exchange but you can supply a power cord and make it so you don't have to remove batteries to use the cord, just unacceptable selling, don't sell it if it is incomplete and not of standards of past, had another one and it had a cord and didn't have to remove batteries, just unacceptable.

My husband bought me a new ring. He is making payments. Well the ring I got a diamond fell out of it like two days after I got it. Now we are in the process of sending the rings back and getting his money back which I doubt he will receive. The ring was horribly crafted ...

I ordered a blue jay bird figurine for my mom and she was happy with it. Actually the figurine looks good. To my surprise she received another one 1 year later because the first one is part of what they call a subscription. Remember Columbia House with their vinyl disk and tapes? This is the same type of outfit. Be warned Bradford Exchange is cut from the same cloth as Columbia House. My mom returned the second one. I called them and told them that it is on its way back and to cancel the subscription. They got the figurine back on February 02 and it's been 2 weeks since they got it back and I still haven't got my money back. Bradford Exchange you will now have to answer my credit card as to WHY it hasn't been refunded. I'm getting sick and tired of this **.

I purchased a Disney sweatshirt for my wife for Christmas. Although it showed a price of $95 after adding shipping and taxes I paid $147.61. Now I am being charged a monthly recurring charge of $14.95 for nothing! I made a single purchase of a sweatshirt and paid handsomely for it via PayPal. I have not ordered anything else! I feel as if I am being taken advantage of (cheated) by unethical business practices. I will NEVER again do business with this company! Be careful!!

Bradford exchange have been dishonest with payments. I paid the invoice and they still are trying to take money. We are now being bullied as they are sending letters threatening debt collection agencies. Why? I have letters of proof if required for others. We have had a customer service rep confirm there is no money owning, yet they still keep sending letters. Terrible communication and disappointed. We have made several forms of communication with them to find out why this is going on. This has become harassment on their side and a scam. Don't purchase from them.

Pretty upset at somehow I got swindled into a free trial of Bradford Exchange Rewards that I knew nothing about, and then switched to a pay plan automatically. That is horrible business practices. I will not be doing business with this company in the future as it has cost me $45 to learn.

I purchased the Wizard of Oz Perpetual Calendar and had difficulty even getting the actual calendar board. Several follow up calls had to be made in order to ever receive the calendar itself. Some of the figures in the series were shipped twice and others arrived broken. Their customer service department was not helpful! This is the last thing I will ever purchase from The Bradford Exchange.

My elderly aunt purchased the Peanuts Perpetual Calendar for her sister. She mailed in 2 separate payments which took them weeks to apply. She did not know that she would be then changed $75.42 for 9 months to complete the gift. She did not understand it was a subscription. One figurine came broken which I glued. The total gift would be around $700!!! SO NOT WORTH THAT PRICE AT ALL. IT IS CHEAPLY MADE! The shelf itself of the calendar is very lightweight wood, not good quality. My aunt is very hard of hearing and asked me to call the confirm if payment was received. They would not speak to me. Seriously, this is not a bank...In the end we requested a return label to return what has been received. NOT WORTH $700.

Ordered a product from Bradford Exchange on 11/17 for 59.99 and yes paid 20.94 for shipping and services.. Should have been billed 88.22. I asked to have my charge into two monthly payments. My credit card was billed on 11/17 for 44.99 and then on Dec. 17 billed for 77. and some change. Now when I went to school those two figures do not add up to 88.22. I have sent 3 emails asking for a refund of 23.95 and have not gotten a response. I will never, never order from this company again. Very poor customer service and I can and will spend my money on a company that appreciates their customer. DON'T BUY FROM THIS COMPANY. THEY SUCK.

We bought this in April 2020. During the 1st Halloween in use, large chunks of the "bark" fell of while it was just sitting on the counter. We go to use it this last Halloween and the light switch only works 1/2 of the time. Poor craftmanship by a company that supposedly prides itself on craftsmanship.

I ordered the Shing Star Creche as my husband's Christmas present. We received the wooden structure, 2 lambs and a cow. Right after Christmas we received a king and his camel. I called customer service and was so confused and frustrated I hung up. There wasn't even a camel shown in the picture so I thought there was a mix-up. We never received the baby Jesus or any other figures. I suppose we have to just pay and hope for the best. I don't think I'll ever order from them again.

Journey to HOGWARTS Glitter Globe. $130 plus taxes and S/H. Shipped shrink wrapped in the Styrofoam mold. No Box as befitting an expensive collectable. It's the Styrofoam that should be inside a box. Made to be powered by either an AC adapter or 2 AAA batteries. The company DOES NOT provide the adapter and the 2 AAA batteries does not provide enough power to power both the train and the sounds for a significant length of time. Lots of additional $$$ to constantly buy batteries. Called Customer Service and they didn't care.

I ordered a perpetual calendar from Bradford for XMAS. It was to start with January and February "ornaments," and they sent me November and December. I guess the person was expected to enjoy it for six days! I have had the runaround with customer service for a refund. They received the items back weeks ago. I contacted them on December 30 because I was told to call back in three weeks and I waited three weeks and a day. I have two charges on my card for the exact same amount.
After much prodding, the lady stated it'd take 3-5 business days for the refund on my card. Ironically, I received a 14.95 charge on my card the same day I spoke to them the last time (December 30)! Keep in mind, the two charges I wanted refunded are 75.95 each (two different days of the same charges). So now, I have to argue about a 14.95 charge. No idea where the 14.95 charge came from! Stay away from this company! It's my first experience with them and it will be my last!
